Board ol Governors Guid'ng the regular growth and progress of the University is perhaps the biggest task facing the Board of Governors at Marquette during wartime. It is the duty of members of the board to act in an advisory capacity to assist the President and other officials of administration in conducting the affairs of Marquette. The board was organized under the administration of Father Albert C. Fox, S.J., and has contin ucd in its w'ork during the trying years s;nce. Responsibility for the growth and progress of Marquette rests in the hands of six prominent laymen, chosen for their efficiency and capability. They are Robert A. Uihlein, Milwaukee banker and industrialist; Dr. C C. Albright, representative of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company; Matthew H. Carpenter, secretary-treasurer of the Carpenter Baking Company; Charles O'Hara, vice-president of Cudahy Brothers Company; Harry S. Johnston, president of the Robert A. Johnston Company; and F. J. Sensen-brenner, president of the Kimberly Clark Corporation. Rev. Peter A. Brooks, S.J., as president of the University, is chairman of the Board of Governors, replacing Rev. Raphael C. McCarthy, S.J. Marquette counts itself as fortunate in having such outstanding laymen to counsel it, particularly in the trying times of the current decade. They give their time grac ously and unstintingly to cooperate with the Jesuit fathers in the administration of a great University. To them has gone all too little credit, but the proper authorities have long been appreciative of their invaluable assistance. The functioning of the Board of Governors has been challenged during this war, as has been that of all University officials. Despite this challenge, Marquette has progressed and grown with the aid of the Board of Governors. Harry S. Johnston Dr. C. F.. Albright F. J. Senscnbrcnncr Robert A. Uihlein Charles O'Hara Page 18

Administration REV. PETER A. BROOKS, S.J. When a great leader is lost, the pain is alleviated only by the coming of another who is equally loved and equally great. Just such a man is Father Peter A. Brooks, S.J., who as a graduate of Marquette, was close to its heart even before he ascended to the presidency late last February. Father Brooks has devoted most of his life to education, having joined the Jesuits in 1921. Until he received his appointment to Mar- quette this year, he had been provincial of the Missouri province of the Jesuit order. The seventeenth president of the University, Father Brooks has pledged himself to continue the present educational program at Marquette as there is no need for a new one. In the few short months that he has been back on the campus, Marquette has again come to know and love one of its most devoted alumni, its president. Pace 17
